toured Communist China after attending the Moscow Youth Festival, arrived
in Hong Kong on 6 October 1957, O'Connell provided the Consulate General,
Hong Kong, with information on some of the other members of the group,
He had the following to say about Louis Alhonote: —

"Louie ALHONOTE, from Brooklyn, was mentally ill and had been told.
by a doctor that he was paranoic, Once in a meeting of the American group
when one of the other members disagreed with him, he dashed a glass cup
against the wall. Ona second such occasion, he threw a glass cup at
Jake ROSEN, which caused Rosen to have three stitches in his chin and five
in his biceps.. This second incident was hushed up only with difficulty because
the Chinese authorities learned of it when a doctor was called,"

2. Lawrence Schwartz, who recently arrived in Hong Kong, from his
tour in Communist China, had the following to say about his observations
of Communist China: "Communism is run by fanatics. What they are
trying to do cannot be done. People cannot submit to long periods of regi-
_ mentation, -Regimentation is frightening, In the states I visited, it was —
entirely out of hand," (New York Times, 21 Nov. 57)

2. Daniel M. O'Connell, a member of the American youth group which
toured Communist China after attending the Moscow Youth Festival, arrived
in Hong Kong on 6 October 1957, O'Connell provided the Consulate General,
Hong Kong, with information on some of the ‘other members of the group.
He had the following to say about the Tylers:

"steve and Patty TYLER (ref. Consulate General telegram to Department
560, repeated Moscow 8, Praguc 1, of September 27, 1957) have been travel-
ing in Europe for about a year and a half. Steve is 23. Neither are college
graduates. O'Connell felt that Patty was the smarter of the two, but that

_, both were quite sound in their thinking, and he was convinced of their anti-

’ Communist sentiments. O'Connell said that both of Steve's parents had
been in some sort of trouble for leftiet or Communist activity in the U.S.,
and that Steve feared that this would unwarrantably be held against him in
spite of his violent reaction against his upbringing. O'Connell said that

he had never known a case where the views of father and son were father

, apart." (Foreign Service Dispatch Hong Kong, number 289, 14 October 1957.)
